In a dramatic victory for President Barack Obama, the Supreme Court upheld the 2010 health care law Thursday, preserving Obama’s landmark legislative achievement.
The majority opinion was written by Chief Justice John Roberts, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, who held that the law was a valid exercise of Congress’s power to tax. (Photo: President Obama signs the health care bill into law at the White House on March 23, 2010 / AP)
